Gears of War 3 has been delayed from it's April 2011 release, and has been pushed back to Fall 2011. That was the bad news, the good news is that there will be a public multiplayer beta hopefully starting early 2011.

This will be the first time a Gears of War game is getting a public beta. Rod Fergusson from Epic told the gathered press that the team has always wanted to do a public beta, but only if they could later use that feedback to improve the title.
